2nd Day Observation

My second day observation did not went well at all. We were not allow to go to our various classes because there were mid term examinations going on. The principal told us he don't want us to disturb the students.
We decided to complete our environment observation which took about two hours for the most. During the rest of the day we sit outside on the stage. It was not comfortable at all, the principal had loss our information which he was support to gather for us. There was one teacher who attended to us every single time he pass in front seeing us sitting on the stage. He told us he didn't like how we were sitting here and asked if we wanted to go down on the play field but the sun was to hot and then we said in cased if some one looking for us, there wouldn't find us. He reply and said OK then and went on his way.
At the end of the day we still didn't received our information from the principal. He told us we would have to come back on Thursday for it.
To my knowing i didn't like the  way they had treated us knowing there were two  past students who attended there school and there knew that to. We didn't feel welcome in there institution at all.
We were placed with year four's  but there had a problem with us being there at the same class room on observation. There were nice in front our face but as soon as the day went by, there said all source of thing about us. And these are the future teachers.
Before we leave the school we made sure and shown our gratitude and give our vote of Thanks to the Principal and staff for accommodating us in his institution.

My First Day Of Observation


 My First Day Of Observation

As I enter into the school compound ( Clarke Rochard Government Primary School)  i was very excited and looking forward on having a marvelous day ahead. Not  knowing my first day of observation would change. When we went by the Principal office, we had to wait for 45 mins outside in the sun. In order words we did not had a warm welcome at all. There were no seating providing for us outside and when we came face to face with the Principal he asked us if we were from UTT and we reply and said yes. After he went his way to carry out assembly, we payed respect to pray, anthem and pledge . He spoke about Sport Day and PTA after the students were dismiss to there various classes and yet he went again like not noticing if we were there. The vice Principal came and welcome us inside there office and provided seat arrangement for us and said we would have to wait for the Principal to come back. A few minutes later the Principal came back and saw us and said he wasn't expecting us today and told us he would talk to us just now. My face change when he said that, I thought we will have to go back home. He called us into his office and tell us to sit but there wasn't enough seating provided. The Principal show us the dates on his calendar that he was expected us. I handed the envelope that we support to give him and he open and read it and said OK then. We were place into classrooms, I were place in a standard three class with two teachers, a preserve teacher from UTT year 4 and a co-prorating teacher with a class of 21 students; 11 boys and 10 girls, age ranges 8 to 10 years . Both staff were very helpful thought out my first day of observation. There were lot of observing we did in and out the classroom, I would say it was quit a success for me so far.
